Figure 1: Rectifier Mounting
(Photo for reference only. Actual product may vary)
The rectifier is convection cooled and MUST be mounted correctly.
The rectifier should be positioned close to the load and batteries, so as to keep the length
of the low voltage cables to a minimum. These cables are carrying high currents, and
voltage drop in the cables must be kept to a minimum. It is better to have a long mains
lead and short low voltage cables.
The rectifier must be positioned so that airflow through the rectifier is not impeded in any
way. These rectifiers are convection cooled – their performance and life expectancy is
reduced if the airflow is impeded.
The rectifier should not be mounted above another rectifier or a source of heat.
The rectifier should be mounted 50mm clear of any other solid object, and care should be
taken to ensure that air entering the rectifier is cool air and has not been heated by other
equipment.
